Choosing the right paint color for your interiors is not always an easy task, but it certainly is very important. I remember when we first got married, my husband and I decided to paint our first home. A small trip to the paint store seemed to be simple until we got there and found out that we had so many paint colors to choose from and it got a little overwhelming. The gray paint we wanted seemed to be so different than we imagined and the possibility of making a mistake wasn’t something we were ready to deal with. Everything was new. Learning painting techniques, paint undertones, we simply didn’t know where to start.

Many, many years have passed since that first attempt to choose the right color for our first home and I have accumulated a lot of experience with paint color as an interior designer, but if you feel afraid about choosing paint color just like I once did, take your time reading this post. You will find several paint colors ideas for your interiors with pictures, which should be helpful. If you like a color you see here, make sure to buy a sample. Try it on your walls and see how it works against your furniture and the light you get at different times of the day. This should help you avoid some expensive mistakes. And, yes, you heard it right! We often hear that paint is a cheap way to change your interiors. I have to say that I can’t really agree with that, not if you buy quality paint anyways, which I always recommend my clients do. So think about it, test it and only then invest in the right color and the right brand. You want a paint that lasts and a color that you feel good living with. These are the factors that will save you money and time in the long term.

Now, let’s take a look at these beautiful interior paint colors and color paint palettes. I hope you will find a favorite here!

I hope you’re feeling inspired by all of these beautiful paint colors! Don’t they make you run to a paint store and change the color of at least one room in your house? I have to admit that I love freshly painted interiors!

Did you guys have a good Thanksgiving? We got a crazy snow storm and lost power for almost ten hours! The least I can say is that our Thanksgiving didn’t turned out the way we had planned, but we were still able to feel grateful for everything we are and have in this life.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I was wondering if you could tell me what color was used for the T&G ceiling in the picture with the Benjamin Moore Athena 858, Allwood Construction Inc. walls? Is that a flat or semi-gloss finish? Is the same color used on the trim?

Hello,
We have always had darker earth tones in our home. We recently decided to remodel a little and attempt gray. We had our oak cabinets painted SW Urbane Bronze, and our kitchen and living walls SW Ellie Gray. My hisband hates it 🙁 The Ellie Gray looks blue…any suggestions? We still need to paint the foyer and halls also.

Hi! Thank you for sharing these lovely images. I wanted to ask if you could please confirm whether the “favorite tan” image is correct- color seems much lighter than favorite tan, but I love it. Thank you.
